As the supervisor of the Carpentry, Painting, and Roofing divisions of Facilities Operations, I would like to offer a brief description of our responsibilities.

We repair and hang doors, apply drywall, repair furniture, and perform a myriad of carpentry related maintenance task

In addition to our regular services, we offer excellent furniture restoration services. Let us restore that old desk, table, or lamp. Recycle a potential antique rather than fill the landfill with a useful object!

The primary purpose of the Sign Shop is to create signs for the University. These signs give direction and identify people and locations. Types of signage include door signs, name plates and desk plates. The sign shop also provides temporary signage for events and renovations. Below are examples of signs that the Sign Shop can make for you or your department.

Type V signs are the university standard for most office applications. The dimensions are 6″ high and 8″ wide. When fastened to a wall, door, or cubicle the Type V sign provides a distinct location for employee identification and their position title. The Type V sign has the room number “cut” in relief on the left side and A.D.A. braille to the right side for visually handicapped persons.

“Inserts”, as they are commonly referred to, allow departmental and individual designation, and/or position title. Size allows for a maximum of three lines of text and a max of seventeen (17) characters per line.

The Zone Maintenance department of Facilities Operations consists of a team of professionals dedicated to maintaining and improving the buildings for the students, faculty, and staff. The primary goal of the Zone Shop is to provide you with a quick response to your request by repairing your problem, getting in touch with the right trade for the job or answering questions you might have about the status of a job or how to request a service provided by Facilities Operations. The campus is divided into twelve zones with a zone mechanic stationed in each building. West Zone Supervisor and East Zone Supervisor are the Zone Maintenance Supervisors for each area.
